Question

multiple - choice question
what are some early formations of coal before coal is actually made? (check all that apply)
peat
lignite
methane
crude oil

Explanation:

Coal formation starts with plant - material accumulation. Peat is an early stage formed from partially decomposed plant matter. Lignite is a low - rank coal that forms after peat undergoes more compaction and chemical changes. Methane is a gas associated with coal but not an early formation of coal. Crude oil is a different fossil fuel and not related to coal formation steps.

Answer:

Peat, Lignite
